LEGO Ninjago is officially back! In our third straight day of reporting Ninjago 2014 news, The Brick News has posted a couple of the official images of some of the sets which came from K-Mart of all sites. There are also descriptions which lists the minifigures including General Cryptor that we first reported a couple of days ago. What’s interesting to notice here too is that that the Kai, Lloyd, and Jay all have hair pieces instead of their hooded masks although if you look closely, the hoods still cover up half their faces. Also, you can see on the top right corner of the boxes of what Zane looks like. On the back of the OverBorg Attack box, you can get a clearer picture of him in his half Nindroid form. Now we just have to wait a little longer for the rest of the sets to show up.

Put the heat on General Cryptor and grab the Techno-Blade with Kai Fighter with 2 flick missiles, jet engines and speed mode wings.

Kai has taken over a civilian vehicle and used his Techno-Blade to turn it into an awesome red and gold Ninja Fighter! Take off and weave between the skyscrapers of New Ninjago City with Kai in the cockpit. Shoot the gold-tipped flick missiles into the path of the evil General Cryptor and evade blasts from his ground-to-air laser rocket launcher. Defeat General Cryptor then flip the wings back to engage speed mode and zoom away. Includes 2 minifigures with weapons and an accessory: Kai and General Cryptor.

Cyrus Borg has been transformed by technology into OverBorg, and is on a mission to control New Ninjago City and capture the Green Ninja. Help the Green Ninja escape to safety on his super-slick cycle with golden blades. The OverBorg has powered up in his mech chair and is giving chase on his all-terrain tank bike, churning up the road with the two fast-spinning, slicing circular saw blades. Evade the tank bike’s lasers then accelerate onto the ramp and soar over OverBorg’s fearsome machine! Includes 2 minifigures with weapons and accessories: OverBorg and Lloyd.

Team up Cole and Jay against the Nindroids with Thunder Raider, a versatile Ninja vehicle full of hidden surprises. Attach Cole’s Earth Mech to the back of Jay’s lightning off-roader. Engage speed mode and power effortlessly over rough terrain with the high-grip front tank treads and huge rear wheels. When the Nindroid attacks with its double laser cannon, detach Cole’s Earth Mech and fight back using the golden sword blasters. Transform the awesome Thunder Raider into attack mode to shoot hidden missiles and reload until the Ninjas are victorious! Includes 3 minifigures with weapons: Cole, Jay and a Nindroid.

Anyway, I actually like the look of the sets so far. They keep reminding me of something from a video game especially Kai Fighter looking similar to the Gradius spaceship, Vic Viper. It’s interesting how the Thunder Raider is like a mini version of their former Ultra Sonic Raider which I’m sure was intentional.

I also like how they look very affordable so far to where I could easily in time scoop up the entire collection. I don’t know about you but I get tired when there are about ten sets in a theme and all of them are $50-$60+.

Can hardly wait to see the rest!

Just What Is A Vic Viper?

It’s the spacehip you play as in the Gradius video game series by Konami. You can find many images through Google or find a ton of MOC’s on flickr.

I just thought of something, where is Zane (the original Nindroid)? Here we see Kai, Jay, Cole, and Lloyd, but Zane is missing except from the box art in the corner. I wondered about this before when we saw the promo poster from last year with only Zane’s face reflecting an image of some enemy Nindroids in his eyes and the words “We’ll be back” across the bottom.

I really hope Lego doesn’t do some kind of alternate future timeline where Zane turned evil and the Nindroids are his followers or something along the lines of that. I have a wierd feeling though they may do something similar to the Megaman X storyline where all the enemy Nindroids were created from Zane’s biology but some reason malfunctioned and went rogue.
